While I was at my favorite Chanel counter the other day, I happened to mention to Scott, one of the makeup artists there, that as much as I love the new Rouge Coco Shines, I’m still going to miss the Aqualumiere line that the Rouge Coco Shines were released to replace.
Scott tried to console me (thank you, Scott). 🙂 He said that most of the new Aqualumieres have sisters or cousins among the new Rouge Coco Shines and pulled out a chart indicating their color equivalents.
If you have one or more holy grail shades in the outgoing Aqualumiere line, all is not (necessarily) lost. Hopefully its equivalent Rouge Coco color looks just as great.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Thank goodness for beauty bribery. Today was shaping up to be a big ol’ waste of time, but I told myself that I could have popcorn at the movies today (Priest or Water for Elephants) if I finished all of my chores by 3. I just finished the vacuuming, so it’s working so far.
Hmm… The only problem I’m just now realizing is that my reward involves hundreds of calories that I’m probably not going to burn doing housework. Yeah, I probably should have thought this through a little better, LOL!
Most of the old ones have equivalents! That’s almost a little boring=(..
Have you had the chance to check them out yet? There are a few really pretty colors.
Of course! I even bought two. However, I find them a little drying=(
I have to say, I bought Boy after seeing your post and it is my favorite lipstick of all time. It just looks amazing on me! I’m going to buy a back-up and I NEVER back- up lipstick! So, I’m not really missing the Aqualumieres!
I’m so glad you love it, Erin. I really like it too and reach for it all the time. Do you wear it by itself, or do you line your lips first with something?
This post is going to be so helpful to a friend of mine. She’s a Chanel fiend!
Yay, that’s great to hear!
Tabs looks crazy adorable with that Chanel ribbon!
He asked for a Chanel cat collar… I told him this would have to do, LOL!
I’m glad Waikiki is a dupe of Boy! I’m sure I have it somewhere in my stash! *starts rummaging*
Waikiki is a really good color — especially great for those days when you don’t want to think to hard, you know? I hope you find it!
Tabs in Chanel = pure awesomeness!
He likes to think of it as his fancy outfit. 🙂
so true! <3
Everyone needs a little incentive sometimes, don’t worry Karen lol and I just have to say, Tabs is looking particularly adorable in that Chanel bow :3
He loves his accessories. 😉
Thanks for the dupe info! I have a client desperate for a replacement for #40 Tahiti. Any suggestions?
I aren’t missing the Aqualumieres. While I did love the colour of Waikiki, I found the formula dreid out my lips. While I don’t think Boy is a dupe (Waikiki was much more rosey) I love the colour of Boy and even more importantly love the formula! I am planning on getting more of them so the dupe list is a great help since I also really liked Ipanema Aqualumiere.
Thanks Karen!
This post did it – I’ve been waffling about getting this lipstick for months now, but today I dragged my frizzy clammy-skinned self to Henri Bendel and bought Bonheur. It makes me feel SO PRETTY. Thank you!
I love Boy! I love the formula, especially that you can build up for more color!
Waikiki was my favorite lipstick of all time… just realized that Chanel isn’t making it any longer. I will definitely check out Boy! Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much. I am soooo pickt about my lipstick. I loved the feel of the aqualumiere – I had Yucatan. I was also very upset that I couldnt get them anymore. BOOO! Thanks for the chart – I’ll try that line. Much appreciation.
